Hi Mike

Trust you are well considering the state of the world

Never caught a mention of the tuning of the slide guitar for Curtis Lowe

Should I assume it's open E then?

Thanks

Hey Larry! The slide is in standard tuning.

If ever there was a different tuning for a slide part (or any other guitar part), it would be mentioned in the gear and tone video. Otherwise, you can assume it is standard tuning.

Keep rockin!

So I got my hands on a Dobro procurred from my sons studio

Don't tell him :-)

Love this thing so many little subtle sounds that can be found within it's strings

It does have a pickup and that took some learning to get the sound I was looking for

I play it thru a Pevey Classic 50 and when set up correctly it's awesome

Anyway thanks for your lesson on how to play Curtis Lowe

Fine work

Will be playing it out soon enough

Be safe and diligent in these uncertain times

God Bless
